Song: “One Little, Two Little, Three Little Fingers”
One little, two little, three little fingers             (wiggle each finger)
Four little, five little, six little fingers
Seven little, eight little, nine little fingers
Ten little fingers on my hand

They wiggle and they wiggle and they wiggle all together       (wiggle fingers)
They wiggle and they wiggle and they wiggle all together
They wiggle and they wiggle and they wiggle all together
Ten little fingers on my hand

They clap and they clap and they keep on clapping            (clap)
They clap and they clap and they keep on clapping
They clap and they clap and they keep on clapping
Ten little fingers on my hand

One little, two little, three little fingers             (wiggle each finger)
Four little, five little, six little fingers
Seven little, eight little, nine little fingers
Ten little fingers on my hand

Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big
This is big, big, big. Move arms out to side
This is small, small, small. Move arms back to center.
This is short, short, short. Hold hands with palms facing each other
This is tall, tall, tall. Reach one hand above head
This is fast, fast, fast. Circle fists quickly
This is slow, slow, slow.  Circle fists slowly
This is yes, yes, yes. Nod
This is no, no, no. Shake head

Song: “Baby Put Your Pants On” (Tune: “Short’nin’ Bread”)
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on         (move baby’s legs)
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three              (gently poke baby’s belly)
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three

Leg to the left, leg to the right                            (move legs)
Wiggle and jiggle and pull them up tight
Leg to the left, leg to the right
Wiggle and jiggle and pull them up tight

Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three!

Flannel: Red Mitten, Red Mitten, What Do You See?
Red mitten, red mitten, what do you see?
I see an orange mitten looking at me.

Orange mitten, orange mitten, what do you see?
I see a yellow mitten looking at me.

Song/Rhyme: “Snowflake, Snowflake” (Tune: “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”)
Snowflake, Snowflake, dance around,
Snowflake, snowflake, touch the ground,
Snowflake, landing on your nose,
Snowflake, landing on your toes,
Snowflake, Snowflake, dance around,
Snowflake, snowflake, touch the ground.

Song (Recording) with finger puppets: “Five Little Snowmen” – The Kiboomers (YouTube)
Five little snowmen standing in a row,
Each with a hat and a big red bow.
Out came the sun, and it stayed all day.
And one little snowman melted away.

Count down 4, 3, 2, 1

…And the one little snowman melted away.
Now all the little snowmen melted away!
